The situation among the civilians has not yet caught the attention of most High Rank Professionals and Nobles. Anvis noticed it solely due to a Prophet's sensitivity to destiny.
Anvis was well aware that many people were still reluctant to give up on the Mechanical Network.
Although the recent wave of sacrifices orchestrated by the Councilman had left the victims of Ninth Rank still entangled in Ma'elim's negative Strength, the immense benefits brought by the Mechanical Network were self-evident.
Not to mention, before the Councilman initiated the 'Final Plan', that immense, almost Divine-like feeling of power was enough to make anyone who truly understood it addicted.
Indeed, handing over the highest control of the network to someone else could be dangerous, but wouldn't creating a similar network independently be the best of both worlds?
